For example, "Hey, if we wanna fuck in the supermarket while waiting in the checkout we will! Its the fucking prudes in the line who got the problem!" attitude. It becomes a matter of where the line is drawn within each society. If american/europeans are quite happy to have semi naked, attention seeking, deliberately provocative halfwits filling a culture void in teenage youth that's fine, but we should respect countries who don't want that.
Difference is that a couple fucking in the supermarket would be forcing their debauchery on others. A concert is an event you can choose to attend. Anybody who doesn't want to see it doesn't have to.
So, if a society allowed the staging of gladiatorial tournaments would it not be complicit in the event? In the same way a society allowing semi naked, attention seeking, deliberately provocative halfwits is complicit.
